Before joining New Generation’s team in Courchevel last year, Jon worked for ski schools in Switzerland, Italy and Canada, as well as being Head of Ski School at a dry slope in the UK.  In Jon’s first season with us, as well as instructing, he took on the role of a trainer and mentor for our ski instructor’s training programme and his students achieved a 100% pass rate. He certainly knows how to inspire his students and make skiing fun!
